The biennial Festival of Monodrama, Ptuj, organised since 1998 by the Ptuj City Theatre, includes the presentation of the Monodrama Award for the best Slovene monodrama. The winner receives a Monodrama Ptuj Badge and a financial prize.

In the Slovene space, the festival presents a unique opportunity for the presentation of monodramas to the wider public. The festival presents monodrama stagings of institutional theatres and of professional actors in non-institutional productions. The programme of the festival is made based on applications and selection of the organising theatre's artistic director, who selects 5 to 7 performances for the competition programme.
